This is my first Feature & Follow Friday. I've seen a number of people participating in this, and I thought that I'd join in the fun!

Question: Books are turned into movies all the time! Turn it around. What movie would make a great book?

This is a great question! I frequently compare movies to their book versions and usually prefer the books, but it's interesting to think about those movies that don't have a literary precedent. I'm not sure how well many of them would make the transition to become great books, but one movie I would love to read as a book is...

Moulin Rouge! I absolutely adore the love story between the penniless writer and the courtesan who dreams of someday being an actress. Christian and Satine have a love story of epic proportions in early twentieth century Paris. I may not like insta-love teenage romances very much, but I cannot resist those star-crossed romances. Christian and Satine's story is full of hope, love, deceit, intrigue, wonder, and so much more. Although the visuals and songs help make the movie that much more enjoyable, I also think that the storyline could benefit from being further fleshed out in novel form.

Have you seen Moulin Rouge!? Let me know what movies you think should be made into books!
